The rain barrels in this contest were created by Onondaga County artists large and small. These artists’ designs were selected from many submissions and represent the talent, creativity and enthusiasm of so many in our community. A panel of distinguished judges selected their favorites, and online voters and attendees at the event selected the “Peoples’ Choice Awards” in each of the following four categories: Elementary School, Middle School, High School and Adult. Awards were presented by County Executive Joanie Mahoney to the artists at the Rain Barrel Art Gala on April 30, 2014 from 5:30-7:30 at the Rosamond Gifford Zoo. Congratulations to all of the winning artists and raffle winners! More photos coming soon 🙂
